Not so much in the summer because the undergrowth is just too thick.

Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

So we tend to go kind of autumn, winter.

Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

So we know, especially the auxiliary units, because of this list was made, we can kind of group guys together who have similar addresses and

and then try and work out where their bunk and mice have been.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

Or they tend to be at the north point of the town.

Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

They tend to congregate around the north point of a town.

Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

You kind of look up there and then you look for, well, actually there's a railway junction there.

Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

Isn't it just so... Then you kind of look at it.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

He'd be able to go back down and say, right, they're coming.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

There's a convoy parked there.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

There's an ammo dump there.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

We need to destroy that railway junction up there.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

And that's still in place.
